Does anyone have one sat around doing nothing, that they would like to exchange for some folding stuff?

I have a PSE Nova Twin Cam Compound Bow (R/H)

Fully adjustable for draw weight and length by user (don't need a bow vice).

Complete ready to shoot kit,

12 x Easton Maxum Deuce 2314 arrows (Full length so can be shortened)

8 x Easton X7 Cobalt 2412 arrows (Full length so can be shortened)

Also got about 16 to 24 carbon fibre arrows which are brand new and unused and if I dig probably more of the Easton arrows as well.

TruBall Thumb Release

Cartel Fibre Optic Front Sights

Peep Hole String Sight

Dampned Arrow Rest

Wrist Guard, Quiver, spare knocks etc.

All in a Plano BowMax Pillar Lock Hard Case

Cost me over £700 and was only used about 12 times as I had a car accident and due to continuing shoulder injury I can't shoot any longer :(

Was going to advertise it for offers over £250

*sniffs*

If you were shooting a proper bow you'd have arrows that stretched from a span in front of your outstretched left arm to your right ear... (Vice versa of course if you're sinister...)

Arrows are full length as I'm 6' 5" :grin:

Carbon Fibre are Redhead Carbon Fury 6075, 32-1/2" (83cm) from end of knock to end of shaft and have screw inserts fitted.

There's also a bag of assorted archery goodies, bow square, spare bits & pieces, spare Tru-Knock and original PSE arrow rest and I'm fairly sure the fibre optic multi pin hunting sight is there somewhere as well.

*chuckles*

Proper arrows are of birch or poplar, a clothyard or more long, tipped with iron, or steel Type 16 heads if you're facing frogs in cans, and are self nocked - so they can't be snatched up and used back against you... troutslapping
